Where it all began
It all began with a well-thumbed stack of Architectural Design Magazines. A young Muriel Sackey absorbed their stories and today creates a unique design narrative of her own: one that fuses her West-African heritage with the contemporary demands of a Western audience.
Muriel moved the hum and the hubbub of Ghana to the United States to create Kusuum. Today, she pursues her dream of globally influenced luxury wallpaper that balances East with West, and nuanced design with multicultural concepts. It's a bold, signature look with a rich cultural heritage. One that rejoices in her love of the ethnic diversity, celebration, and natural wonder of her homeland.
Muriel creates exclusive, hand-crafted wallpaper that draws on a rich palette, in a choice of colorways. The result is a harmonious blend with other furnishings, however eclectic. An authentic one, too. Kusuum delves far deeper into African culture than tired tropes of tribal artwork and cultural artifacts.
This is African culture gloriously redefined and vibrantly presented for a Transatlantic palate.
Bridging Cultures Through Design
In colorful Accra, Muriel's childhood was shaped by beautiful interiors and fashion, rearranging décor and furnishings, and flipping through those architectural magazines. Today, as a resident of Atlanta, Georgia, Muriel brings her African heritage to a new audience.
With Transatlantic interiors emerging from their recent hibernation among safe, earthy neutrals, she offers a brave new world colored by accent patterns.
Working with artisans across globe with Kusuum Home, Muriel brings the vibrant zing of Ghanaian culture to Western walls.
Her timeless designs carefully skirt tourist-driven assumptions about African design. There's no lazy reliance on tribal artwork, decorative objects, textiles, and artifacts. Instead, a deep dive into African culture captures the lived experience of Ghanaian life. Muriel's work evokes a walk across pristine sands, rustic canoes, the beat of an African drum, or the geometrically painted homes of Accra and Adire prints from Nigeria.
